OC: TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND WHAT YOU DO
SS: I’m a Success and Business Coach for women coaches, creatives and wellness practitioners at serenasandstrom.com. I’m also the creator of impactfulselling.com. My mission is to elevate business owners to powerful leaders in their business and life.

OC: HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?

SS: Achievement + fulfilment

OC: WHAT SACRIFICES HAVE YOU HAD TO MAKE TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR?

SS: Late nights and weekend work. Today I’m grateful that I very rarely allow my sacred space during the weekends to be filled with work.

SS: Becoming one of the 1%:ers and taking a stand for my desires as a success coach for women entrepreneurs

OC: NOW TELL US ABOUT A LOW POINT

SS: It was actually when I jumped off the career ladder and had my own eat.pray.love moment sobbing on my bathroom floor. It took me 3 months to recover from the 14 years in retail.

OC: WHAT DID YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET OUT OF THERE?

SS: Get connected to how much courage I have and be proud that I was following my desires

OC: TEA OR COFFEE?

SS: Neither…a veggie juice please!

OC: WHAT HABITS HELP YOU BE SUCCESSFUL?

SS: Investing in myself…I’m a business and personal development junkie and it shows in my results, having a long term head coach, self care rituals such as morning yoga, lunch breaks away from my desk as much as possible, regular massages & holidays that have digital detox built in them.
